Not all countries legalized gambling. I researched to find out why some of those countries except religion prohibit gambling and then I found out that some countries once allowed gambling but later made it illegal due to the increase of gambling-related crimes and addiction, the government had to make legislation against gambling to protect citizens from involving in gambling-related crimes like the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Also, in South Africa gambling was considered illegal but was later considered legal.
I think that countries where gambling is illegal see countries where gambling is legal in a negative light and this can affect the reputation of the country. Gambling is legalized in my country and there is no sensitization from the government against problem gambling. If gambling is legalized in your country, do you think it is affecting the reputation of your country in the global arena? Is your government doing anything to prevent problem gambling?

To some extent legalizing gambling in my country as affected its badly, now gambling by law was meant for people from the age of 18 years and above, even children below 18 years go to bet shop and bet and the people know that they have below 18 years and they accept the money from them, and it make children to steal their parents money because of gambling,so to me gambling have a negative effect to the country, that's my opinion.

If there is evidence of underage gamblers then such gamblers should be reprimanded and then the betting shop should be locked up for promoting underage gambling.

I see two ways how a legalized gambling will truly affect a country's reputation and those are weak policies/security against money washing/laundering and becoming a place for terrorist financing. If I remember correctly, countries are given some scores on how they combat the above international problem. The rating will affect their image and international trades. Other than that, each country won't really care.

governments will legalize just about anything illegal today in order to make money out of it. back when the president of my country wasn't very liked by US, they cut off the aid to support the country and so our president amend a law allowing small time lottery and offshore gaming services in the country to collect tax from them.
some countries that are struggling with money but the drugs are flooding the streets, they may legalize the market to benefit from it. i'm not sure if there is a country like this but Hemp are legal in few US states.

I believe that this is not the case, the reputation of a country cannot and should not be affected because they have games of chance and casinos, that falls within the scope of entertainment and adult enjoyment, I know that religions can prohibit it due to their criteria and their way of seeing things, I don't see it as bad that a country lowers its reputation because it has those businesses, because at the end of all it is business that the casinos represent, and it is adult entertainment, then it has nothing to do with it, There are countries that have their own beliefs and their way of seeing things, as long as illegal activities are not carried out, I believe that everything is normal.
If a country prohibits games, it is because they are based on religious or political reasons, but in the same way it is about the way they can play and enjoy, that is why online casino games are the best option for those people who live in those countries where they prohibit them.
-
It doesnt affect the reputation, there are places that turns out to be the center for entertainment like Las Vegas where tourism makes the city alive.
Abu Dhabi is in Middle east but I think after they made the city accomodating for tourist and allow gambling, the reputation of UAE weren't affected.
-
If gambling is legalized in your country, do you think it is affecting the reputation of your country in the global arena? Is your government doing anything to prevent problem gambling?
It may somewhat affect the reputation it depends on the kind of gambling your government is legalizing, betting in a lottery is very much legal in our country and the majority of the people here in our country are all betting and the advantage for our government is they get huge revenue from these betting platforms and the big revenues are using to sustain the health sector.

I felt like indecisive feels the best. A nation is not good or bad, or have a good or bad reputation, based on their gambling laws. I mean considering there are nations that bans it and a nation I would never visit, and there are nations that it is illegal and I would love to visit. Conversely I could say the same for the nations that made it legal, there are nations which gambling is legal and I would still never visit, and some that it is legal and I would love to visit. All of these calculations are here to show you that, a nation that has gambling as legal or illegal doesn't really change its course, BUT now that we establish that, would a decent nation I would probably not visit, not for disliking reasons but just I find it a good nation that has no touristic reason to go to, could make it legal and maybe then I could see that as good, who knows.

I agree with you. The impact of legalizing gambling on a country’s reputation depends on the prevalence of gambling addiction, money laundering activities, and underage gambling. If these issues are so common in a country that it raises global concern then a country`s reputation can be harmed.

Here in my country illegal gambling is taking over in most places but what hurts us most is the POGO industry because some of them were involved in scam and even involved in kidnapping, human trafficking and violence. And what is alarming here is that it involves foreign nationals like Chinese, Vietnamese and Malaysians. It gaves headaches to authorities and maybe this will affect country's reputation if I am not mistaken.

From what I know, most of the illegal gambling sites in Southeast Asia and China are based in your country, and it is legal for them to operate from there.
With that way, income from these sites will be considered legal, they dont need to go to the trouble of laundering money as long as they comply with the regulations there and pay taxes.
I dont think a legal or illegal gambling will affect your country's reputation, but rather the crime rate.
And also I think the crime rate there is quite high due to drugs, not gambling.

Exactly. The betting shop owner should be arrested and his shop should be locked immediately for allowing minors to gamble because of money.
In my country, a minor(someone below 18years) can't try to gamble in front of his elders or be in their mix without been scared of who will spark at them to gamble when they are not up to. For them to have that free hands to gamble, they must be above 18 years. If they are below 18 years, and the gambling owner allowed such a thing to happen, let him expect their shop to be locked because someone must have reported them for such

Legalizing gambling in a country has no nothing to do in other countries perception of that country as every country in the world has rules and regulations guiding it so other countries should respect the laws that are past by others country in protecting their country. Because when it comes to legalizing gambling it's has to do with the government in power are the government officials enlightened enough to see that there's nothing wrong with gambling and that the citizens of the country has the right to there life and that any thing that they wants to do with it is their rights including gambling .To me every country in the world should open their door to gambling because looking at the economic aspect of gambling it's very good as casinos and betting companies pay tax which translate into economic development of that country

I don’t think someone would be bothered enough not to visit the country just because they legalize something like gambling. If I were to visit countries, it would not be in my mind to check if they legalize it.
I see this affecting a country's reputation if the problem is problematic in terms of the citizens, and foreigners could see the problem itself. That would be the case, in my opinion, if it were going to affect the company's reputation.

Gambling can affect the reputation of a country in both negative and positive ways.
In negative ways, it raises concerns over the moral and cultural values of the citizens of the country that change their religious beliefs. Another negative impact is that it can cause money laundering and sports corruption.
Positive ways: the government of the country can generate revenue through taxation.

Gambling is legalised in my country and I don’t see much effect it has cause to my country because I don’t see the vast majority of people that I know gambling or having issues with their life through gambling. Gambling is very addictive and has a lot of disadvantages to many people that are so into it and have no control over it.
I know countries that have made gambling illegal is because of how the people of the country engage in it without any consideration and consequences it will have in their life if they can’t control it.
Also, how they tend to allow regulations not encompassing all especially under age will affect the future of the country if such things aren’t taken care of from young age. Countries that don’t legalise it have their reasons and their reasons should be respected by them.
-
Gambling is the peoples choice and this have nothing to do in how reputable a country should be or not, we are the ones that have to maintain our stand on what we want and how we could achieve doing so, either to gamble or not or whether to do it responsibly or not as well, while the government are to ensure that they coordinate all other activities that is going on within it country through it regulations, by doing this, it will help a country develop it economy and the people will see it more conducive for their adaptation.

i don’t think so unless there is a concerning amount of violence and commotion around casinos just look at cities where gambling is well known they seem to attract tourists from all over the country and even the world
people are visiting the country just to gamble and have fun for sure contributing to the economic success of the country and by extension the country so i wouldn’t say they are put under a negative light
Is your government doing anything to prevent problem gambling?
it’s not gambling that they prevent but irresponsible gambling there are rules and regulations put in place which i do think are reasonable
-
Gambling has no effect on a country's reputable status. The mere fact that countries participate in sporting activities implies that citizens will gamble on those sports, either for entertainment or to make extra money. Some people travel long distances just to visit a country's casino, which in the long run generates revenue for the country.
The bookies also pay taxes to the government, which, along with other revenues generated, is used to further the country's development. It is important to note that, when viewed through the lens of the international system, gambling is not one of the indices that affect a country's image because gambling is done on an individual basis.

Gambling isn’t all totally bad. Just as you’ve said, it has its positive and negative impact on both the society and individuals. But due to how Many people has misused the actual intent of gambling, making it affect them negatively, has given the society a negative view of gambling, now the society sees gambling as an evil activity and people who get involved are useless people who do not have good thoughts for themselves, which of course shouldn’t be so. Sometimes I don’t really blame them for this misconception of gambling, I blame the gamblers more, gamblers who allow themselves to be ruined by gambling, because they’re exactly the ones who passed the wrong message about gambling.

Though it shouldn't be like that because even if a country Legalize gambling shouldn't affect the regulations of the gambling platform to restrict under age gambler, so actually so long the platform does not allowed under age then the legalization shouldn't be a problem because in my own country gambling is legalized but those who are still at their tender age are not allowed, it doesn't affect the reputation of the country because they are all normal gamblers.

Gambling can affect the reputation of a country in both negative and positive ways.
A country that has strict rules against gambling may not still be seen as a country with reputation because perspectives are different. Countries with stiff rules towards gambling may be viewed as countries that are too stiff towards their citizens, not even given attention to any form of entertainment that they may derive from gambling. Reputation of a country is drawn from other factors and things, not the rules they have regarding gambling.

Neither way you would really be able to still hearing out on what people do say on which it could neither be positive or negative. Legalizing or not it will really be still able to get those comments
but it doesnt matter yet this one do really talks about governments decisions whether they would really be legalizing or not. Whatever the plans that they do have then it would be
something that being tackled or being meeting about on which its impossible that there would really be no discussions before making up such decision whether they would be legalizing gambling or not. It will really be having those kind of considerations basing up into those pros and cons.
-
Legalization of gambling in countries where gambling is not legal or where gambling is viewed religiously as negative will lead to criticism. But that criticism will be inside the country. I think there is no reason to say that it will lose its reputation in its own country. If we look at America where gambling is legal then there is no shortage of America's reputation. It is completely foolish to think that gambling will lose its reputation if this generation accepts it. But if the governments take the decision considering the total population of the country then I think no question should be expected about it. However, to keep pace with the world, the government must take up-to-date policies.
-
It is not gambling itself that affects the reputation of a country, it is the government's carelessness that does. If the government is going to legalise gambling, then they should work towards monitoring these gambling activities strictly so people do not disguise themselves as gamblers to carryout some criminal activities.
If the government is only interested in getting revenue from the casinos without being fully involved to know when things are going wrong, soon alot of things will go wrong and people will blame gambling instead of the government.
-
I don't see it as something bad for a country to legalize gambling, it is their own decision made, they also have their own right to protect the interest of the people, i see it as a condition whereby those in government or power will have to first consider the needs of the people and not what they see for themselves first, gambling is just a simple way of having fun as we may want it.

yes its not really a bad thing or tainted the reputation of the country when they legalize gambling. their lawmakers are voting for it as well.
what can make things bad is when there is political party in a country that will oppose the law and then make it look bad because they wanna ruin the reputation of the sitting party. this always happen in a country where everything is political battle. the next administration made it look so bad in the media while they shut down casinos one by one.
yep normally legalizing gambling is not an issue but in the 3rd world political battle, it can mean ruining reputation.
-
There are different different reason for not legaizing gambling on a country which can be cause of the culture, also can be for religion, also can be for the bad impact of gambling in their country. So in this case each person have each definition of reputation so one thing can be not reputable for me and that same thing can you a reputable thing in your eyes. So I won't gonna say that what really does effect in a country after legalizing gambling.

I guess this is one of those cases where it's okay until happens to you or your family. From where I am from, licensed gambling companies have become more bolder now. They started advertising using huge billboards across major roads that's also seen by young people. Granted that they issued license to collect funds for public use (taxes), I think there should be still be restriction on who will see these gambling ads.
-
Well we can look at it this way, how about those countries that consider gambling as illegal?
And we have seen that their reputation as well are not affected, so I think it will have the same outlook as those countries that legalized it. And if I'm not mistaken, there are 1st world countries that already legalized it and so far we haven't seen any effect on them in the world economics.
Could be that this countries have matured already so it's ok with them to legalized it winning any dire consequences.

that seems fair obviously looking for appropriate locations to promote gambling sites or gambling as an activity in general must be prioritized i don’t think i have ever seen a huge billboard of a smoking/cigarette advertisement?
even if i saw those alcoholic drinks advertised they usually put up a warning or a disclaimer and always says that they need to be responsible
so if they are going to promote gambling it should be in appropriate places and should always include a fair warning

Governments often have a complex stance on gambling due to its game-like nature involving bets and chance. Gambling can generate massive revenue for governments to develop their countries but can also create social problems when many people cannot manage the risks.
Typically, governments prefer to operate gambling projects themselves through lotteries with enormous prizes to attract funds from citizens. Some countries strictly regulate gambling and grant licenses to specific agencies/companies. In the US, people can bet on the outcome of FOMC or presidential elections, something considered crazy and illegal in many other countries, yet the US reputation remains strong and untarnished.

...Could be that this countries have matured already so it's ok with them to legalized it winning any dire consequences.
Regardless of whether the country is ripe for the legalization of gambling or not, there are also religious aspects of this issue. And this applies not only to Islam, but also to many other religions in which gambling is equated with sin. So in any case, the government cannot allow gambling where it is prohibited by religion.

Personally I think legalizing gambling doesn't affect the reputation of a nation. Gambling is an individual thing not a national thing. I think gamble can affect the reputation of an individual depending on the individual's approach to gambling.

So when a person goes to Las Vegas we already assume he must have gambled a sum of his money. It's pretty common for people to go to this tourist spot to gamble, the place is where sports events are held like boxing event of popular boxers.
I think this is how Nevada is know for. Known for Las Vegas the gambling Capital and there is a dark side of this such as gambling the cause of addiction and homelessness.

Gambling and how a nation is viewed has no link because Gambling is personal an can't be used to access a country reputation doing so is like generalizing everyone in a particular country as gamblers which will be very wrong so government should legalize Gambling which is a source of revenue to the country because these Gambling companies pay tax and are duly registered

There are definitely negative effects, where if the community is addicted, then crime will increase where gambling addicts will do anything to fulfill their desire to gamble, and from this one country will have a negative aura in the eyes of other countries where the crime rate is high will be avoided by foreign tourists where they think they will feel uncomfortable
-
Well we can look at it this way, how about those countries that consider gambling as illegal?
I would say that in countries that have not legalized gambling, they do not gamble? Currently, gambling is practiced in almost all countries and the government cannot stop it even if it wants to. Those who gamble are gambling, so I think that if gambling is legalized instead of illegal, the government can collect revenue from gambling platforms. At the moment in my country governments know about this but they do not legalize gambling. Maybe the reason for keeping it illegal because they discourage gambling. But they cannot stop it.

Gambling is Haram in Islam and most of the Islamic countries are against gambling in any form, they do not care about the revenue from tax, they only think it's the moral thing to do, you can't blame them, it's there culture and the citizens are okay with it.
Most countries in africa against gambling impose high tax rate on stakes and potential returns to discourage gambling.
